Lori Nix | “Arresting creations of biodiversity,” New Scientist

From New Scientist—Culture Lab:

Whimsical and surreal works of art aim to explore interdependence in nature in the exhibition Nature’s Toolbox, in Chicago. . .

From real to imagined disaster; Lori Nix evokes a grim future in her gorgeous photographs depicting miniature dioramas that create scenes from post-apocalyptic cities. In one, shown above, a natural history museum’s own showcases remain intact while the surrounding walls crumble. The exhibit is surreal, yet urgently relatable in its overall message.
